Since Kara Carrington appeared last March in the "Women of the Big 10", guys wandering near her the bar she works at have been unusually thirsty. "People come in every night wanting me to sign something for them," she says. "The owners loved it, and while I thought it was sweet, it did get a little overwhelming."

Miss Carrington, who describes herself as "shy and reserved until you get to know me," found a way to deflect some of the attention. "I have a co-worker who looks enough like me that people think that we're sisters," she says. "At one point, when someone came in and asked, 'Are you that girl from Playboy?' I said, 'Oh no, she's right over there.' It was so funny. there's lots of guys out there who think they met me, but actually havn't," she says.
